On the 30th of October I'm building up my new bike at Planet X in Rotherham. I'm then planning on riding home to Wolverhampton. Leaving Rotherham at about 4.30 p.m. and hoping to be back home by 1.00 a.m.
I'm completely unfamiliar on the roads between Rotherham and Ashbourne, but can find my way home from there.
Bearing in mind that I'll be leaving the Rotherham / Sheffield area at evening rush hour time I'd prefer not too many dual carriageways. Later on in the evening when the roads are quieter, I'm fine on A and B roads but would prefer not to be doing a lot of dark, tiny lanes full of potholes.
I'll be following my route using a Garmin, with the route plotted on Ride with GPS and am expecting to be doing an 85 to 90 mile ride.
Any suggestions concerning route would be much appreciated.
